It's a common tool in the red teamer's toolbox.

Just search "chisel" on https://ippsec.rocks to see how often it's utilised in a pentest type of scenario.

It is used by red teamers because it is used by attackers.

Well it's used by both because it's pretty useful in attack-like situations.

Tomatoe, tomato. The E at the end of the word generally reflects hardening/lengthening the preceding morpheme (rid, ride; cloth, clothe).

This is a good example of how language evolves because tomahto has not ever been a correct spelling of tomato, and tomatoe is an incorrect spelling derived from making tomato plural into tomatoes and then (incorrectly) dropping just the s to make tomatoes singular again. A mistake based off of a mistake. So while intelligible if incorrect, who's to say if it's wrong?
